It's starting to happen ...

... in a Euro-state no less:

An enraged father who disapproved of his daughter's older boyfriend went to his home and castrated him with a bread knife.... He told police: "I received a phone call anonymously that my daughter was involved with a guy 40 years older than her. You said you couldn't stop him – so I did.

Those who would condemn his actions as the behavior of a prehistoric father should probably keep in mind that the actions of the overly affectionate Prof. Epstein are the behavior of a post-modern one. If the law is not reasonable, the behavior of those who reject it often will not be either. And neither "the law" nor "the police" are some sort of state deity possessing magical power to dictate human behavior.

Mike V has been saying this for a while (and I'll paraphrase):'If the law no longer protects citizens from government, it also no longer protects government from the citizens, either.'
